I just want to be clear that you can order menu entrees here and it's not just a "Jamaican chipotle". I'm glad that I didn't read the reviews until I went to add my own just now bc I would not have come here had I kept seeing it being referred to as a Jamaican chipotle. I got the Stew Beef plate with cabbage and rice and peas. The stewed beef flavor was 9/10 and I was really happy with the portion size, it was well worth the $22 for me, although the rice and peas could've been a little more fresh in my opinion. My mom got the jerk chicken plate and she loved it, but the greens were a little on the sweet side to my grandma and me, but my mom didn't mind/ think so. The jerk chicken was really good. My grandma got the jerk chicken bowl. I LOVE that cucumber salsa and I tore them plantains down baby! There's definitely a difference in taste with the jerk chickens. The jerk chicken in the plate is This isn't somewhere you'd come sit and eat, more like grab and go. There's about 3 small tables inside if you're lucky and some out front but like I said if you're lucky. Their to go bowls are like those cardboard bowls so you may want to sit and eat. I'll be back to try other plates.
When I heard this was a "Jamaican Chipotle" I said, count me in! I couldn't wait to stop by Jerks Caribbean Grill and get me a custom bowl! I opted for a pick-up order during my visit since I was going on my lunch break from work and I have no complaints. My order was waiting on me when I arrived! The staffed was very welcoming when I walked in, asked if I need any assistance, and quickly gave me my to-go order. The ambiance was nice but it is kind of small in there but they have the store arranged well and there are plenty of tables and chairs outside. I'll definitely be back to try some of their other menu items! Here's what we ordered: The Calypso $14.00 + Avocado Ranch O/S $1.00 - Nuts Create-A-Bowl $10.00 Jasmine Rice Sweet Potatoes + Jerk Chicken $3.00 + Jerk Shrimp $4.00 + Fire Roasted Corn + Diced Red Onions + Cucumber Salsa $1.00 + Chimichurri Sauce
I love this place! I love the sister restaurant chef robs from back in the day as well! It's in town center Brookhaven and it is pretty much like chipotle but CARIBBEAN! So obviously better! It's a chill vibe with wall seating and buffet style (like chipotle). So you order and then pay at the end of the line. I ordered the menu item "2 Jerks" and baby it was jerking! I mean nose running and sniffling! I had chicken and shrimp and baby I won't be ordering it again because I couldn't take the heat! But I ate every last bite along with rice and plantain and my delicious sorrel because it was just that good! A must try and I WILL be back for other menu items! There's plenty of parking and I'm so happy this place exists! Definitely go try!
I had lunch here in January. This is a small store with only four tables. It seemed they did a lot of takeout business, but I ate in. The interior was clean and bright. Large TVs on the walls showed news channels with the sound off. Ordering at the front I asked for suggestions. The staff were excellent at explaining the menu. They pointed out which dishes were spicy and which were large. I ordered the Caribbean Muscle bowl that had chicken and lamb with quinoa. The food was delivered to my table after a few minutes. It came in a compostable oval bowl with clear plastic lid and a packet of plastic utensils. I found the bowl plenty spicy, even though it was not one of the spicier choices. There was enough food for lunch and I took almost half home for lunch the next day. I thought it was very tasty. I would like to eat here again and try the vegetarian bowl. The restaurant has fountain drinks, a set of their own fruity concoctions, and bottled beers and other cocktails.
Came in on a rainy Sunday afternoon! Parking: it is located in a large Brookhaven plaza with many other shops. On the day I went, there was plenty of parking out front but be prepared to park far or in the parking deck around the corner on a busier, sunnier day. I believe parking is free in the deck, it's definitely free in the shop parking! Service: when I walked in, I wasn't greeted or directed on how to order. Because they only take orders via the kiosk, I think this would be a good direction. Because social media deemed them the 'Jamaican chipotle' I can't be the only one who assumed you ordered at the counter/food line. Experience: After ordering on the kiosk, they make your food and bring you your trey if you decide to dine in. There were about 4 tables inside and about 6 tables outside. Unfortunately, it was raining, and all of the other tables were taken by other diners so we ended up having to eat in the car which was a bummer! Quiet, casual vibe inside. Food: They had food offerings from jerk lamb chops to customized bowls to choose from. Definitely a more innovative menu than the traditional Jamaican fare. HOWEVER I was quite surprised to not see any cabbage/vegetables that you'd see traditionally with a Jamaican meal (unless I overlooked it). I got the build-a-bowl with rice & peas, jerk chicken, plantain, cheese, cucumber, and a corn mixture, and topped with jerk sauce. Left a lot to be desired flavor wise imo .. was expecting a grilled taste from the chicken but it just seemed like grilled chicken and jerk sauce on my bowl. portions were generous though! We both also got a side of Mac & cheese. Great portion and the highlight of my meal, I really enjoyed it. I'd go back and try their pasta. Price: Both meals w/ drinks and 2 sides of Mac & cheese came to about $50. Drinks: I didn't get a cocktail, but was impressed to see they offered different beer and alcoholic beverages!
I've ordered Jerks on Door Dash and enjoyed my meal. Today I went to the restaurant. The service was fast and great! We ordered a bowl with braised beef oxtail and the mango chicken. The bowl was filled to the top and not skimpy at all.
We enjoyed everything we ordered to go from here! Didn't get to take a lot of pictures because we were so ready to eat! I ordered fish and plantains along with jerk chicken and shrimp pasta. The fish was crispy and seasoned well. The plantains were just right as I'm a bit picky about the flavor of a plantain. It wasn't overly sweet, so they cooked it well for its ripeness. Couldn't resist trying the jerk chicken empanadas as well which were crispy and filled well with peppers, cheese, and chicken. Would definitely get it again! My partner bought a chicken bowl. It was very filling and it felt like he got more than the price, which is great. It was spicy in a good way and well seasoned. The bowl was packed with the individual ingredients he added. Taste great and large portion! Think Chipotle bowl but better! He also ordered beef stew with mac and cheese. Looks delicious but haven't tried yet since the bowl is so filling. Looking forward to going back and trying even more meals. Thank you!
Quick Review: I'm glad I tried it but it's not the best. Flavor could be better and the prices should be cheaper. I need Jamaican food made with love! The idea of Jerks is great. It's in a great neighborhood and the menu is one of its kind. Depending on what you order, it could be done in a few minutes! This is my second time trying Jerks and I've concluded food wise it's nothing too special about it. I decided to try the Oxtail plate with a side of rice and peas and Mac and cheese. We also ordered a side of jerk empanadas. This go around they were generous with the servings (especially the oxtail) which I was very happy about. The gravy was more on the savory side and oily than sweet and flavorful. The oxtail were tender. The rice and peas were a bad type of dry and no flavor whatsoever. The Mac wasn't good and I wish it was fresh. We literally waited over 20 minutes for the jerk empanadas. I'm glad it was fresh but it wasn't worth the wait. Two small empanadas with small portions of filling inside. More air than chicken. And the sauce they included was not my favorite. (A sweet and sour style sauce) As we waited for the empanadas, I did look in the resturant and noticed how nice it was. Seating is cool but on a busy day I can see the seating being a problem because the tables are very close. They do have two tables for you to watch tv. The ordering system is good and they give you 3 places to put an order in. Overall the staff is friendly. Will I be back? It depends. Can someone please recommend something good on their menu to try?
I've been very excited for this place to open ever since I saw the signage last year! Finally, tonight, my boyfriend and I stopped in for dinner. AMBIANCE The ambiance is trendy and relaxed. It's a small space with limited seating indoors and outdoors. Most customers seem to take their items to go, but we dined outside on the porch for a casual date night! SERVICE Everyone was kind and welcoming to us. The girls at the register were friendly and in good spirits. After we finished our meal, as I thanked them and told them that everything was amazing (I'm sorry I did not catch their names; I'll have to get them on our next visit), the girl who had taken our orders smiled a beautiful smile, said thank you, and told us she would see us next time. This simple little interaction honestly brightened my day. FOOD We shared a vegan chili and each did a create-a-bowl. For mine, I got the following: BASE: rice and peas; PROTEIN: jerk shrimp; HOT TOPPINGS: black bean corn relish & sautéed root vegetables; COLD TOPPINGS: pineapple salsa; SAUCE: mango habanero. Everything was so tasty, with just the right amount of spice! The shrimp was the softest, juiciest shrimp I think I've ever had. All of the ingredients I chose came together so nicely. My boyfriend loved his selections as well. Additionally, the chili we shared was thick and flavorful with a nice spice kick. After we finished our meal, my boyfriend also brought his mom an order of fish and chips to go. She enjoyed hers as well! We will be back!
First off...3.5 stars. Viewing this location on social media and content creators hype it and they show the experience of being similar to "chipotle" as in walking through and building your bowl...we didn't have that experience and didn't see anyone do that either. You order at the kiosk. The food was mid but it wasn't something I would drive back for. The honey ginger sauce and plantain were the best things on my plate. Everyone was courteous at the spot. The place doesn't have much seating. Be mindful if you are expecting to eat there. I would suggest stopping by if in the area for your own experience.
New spot! Really good! Called the "Caribbean Chipotle" for good reason! The portions are huge and pretty well priced. The jerk chicken is perfection and they give you so much of it! I am not sure if it was the pineapple salsa or the black bean corn medley (I think salsa), but one of them was extremely spicy- which I didn't love so I would stay away if you don't like lots of heat. Also they were pretty slow- only taking orders through their kiosk. The workers (who I were kind) were kinda just standing around which was frustrating given the number of people waiting for their food. Other than that this place was really good and I will definitely be returning.
At the time of my visit I heard a lot of good things about Jerk's. I am always looking for new restaurants to try out in the area. I enjoyed the cleanliness of the restaurant and the way the staff greeting me when I walked in. I was told that I could place my order at one of the two touchscreens. This was helpful because I didn't know what to expect since it was my first visit. I ordered the Rasta Pasta, Vegetarian Chili, and Veggie Plate (Mac n Cheese, Plantains, Re Mashed Potatoes). Everything tasted better than I anticipated. I will visit Jerk's again!

Super excited to have this delicious Jamaican restaurant in my backyard. Think of it as the quick service version of Jamaican food (Chipotle, Panera, etc) and the flavors are on point!!! I thought they'd be Americanized but they are deep rich flavors in every bite. I had the jerk chicken & shrimp bowl and it was big enough for 2 days of eating. The service is self serve or limited service. The seating is open both inside and out, so flexible for groups or just popping by to grab a quick bite. I hope they get a liquor license but the beer and wine selections are pretty good for now. read more

It's in a busy but good location, they were also very busy. It's small and not a bunch of seating but they do also have seats outside. I got the jerk shrimp pasta and I got my son the kids fish fingers and fries. The food was delicious, full of flavor. The pasta was spicy with a nice kick, and my son seemed to enjoy his food. My advice for them is when orders are ready they've got to either call out the name or order numbers or text people's phones. It was just a bunch of people going up to the register checking to see if their orders were ready which is not ideal. The service wasn't bad, the guys were busy but still polite. I will be back to try something else. read more
My daughter and I had a craving for Jamaican food so we stopped by to check it out. We wanted oxtails and were really disappointed they were out of rice and peas. We both got a side of mac n cheese. I ordered greens and she had plantains. The oxtails had great flavor but weren't falling off the bone like they should. The mac n cheese and plantains were really good. My daughter liked the greens but I thought there was something missing. The fruit punch had a think consistency and was a waste of $5. Overall it was good but for the price I expected more. read more
Came here to try this new spot since its owned by chef robs and I like their food. I ordered oxtails, mac&cheese and cabbage. The food was good. However, I didnt love the packaging. Its paper so its easily soaked by juices from the food and there are no separate compartments so everything is mixing. I'd go back but I might request things be packaged separately. read more

I really wanted to like this location since I had a great experience in Miami. Staff: All looked confused bunched up over the register where they wanted you to order instead of the the illuminated sign on the opposite end of the counter where the food is displayed. The one staff member who served food with no gloves, handled money and tended to her 2 yr old child who was in the customer seating area - eating a sandwich from Potbelly's. Why is your job also your day care? This was 9pm - why is a two year old still up and eating at a table for customers. Totally dysfunctional. Staff hovered over your food while tying to determine who's order was whose; and did I mention the smoke filled dining area so much that they had to keep the door open to let out the smoke from the kitchen. But wait, there's more: Food: Terrible from the portion size to the presentation. Greens were horrible; tasted like they were washed in dish water or the pot they were boiled still had soap; undercooked, and 0% turkey meat in them (see pic). Oxtail oil also featured in this pic. Oxtail - tiny, more bones than meat. Mashed potatoes were cold, but they tasted ok. Lamb chops (3) lollipops - 1 well done, 1 med well, 1 burnt. The oil based Chimichurri was overwhelmingly oily (same as oxtail); how do you mess up Rice & Peas? Over salt them! Mac & Cheese was ok, lumpy cheese and over cooked noodles, but the portion size was so small, barely got a real assessment of them. I would give a positive review of the restaurant itself but the 2 yr old sitting in the dining area where Mom came from behind the counter and Dad came out of the kitchen really took away from the expected ambience. $84 dollars wasted and they have the nerve to have a suggested tip menu on the register. I doubt this restaurant will be there a year from now - especially if the staff continues to bring their kids to work and the obvious lack of a manager will only frustrate and turn off dining customers. read more
Pros- Amazing food would come back Food- 2 Jerk chicken and shrimp bowl was spicy, it had a kick to it the smashed potato side was extremely salty Oxtails amazing flavor and very tender Service- Quick and very clean inside Ambience-Nice and inviting Cons- Limited seating and don't take cash read more
This place just recently opened (Feb 2025), so I had to give it a try. There are options to order online or via Toast, but I chose to walk in and order in person. The service was super fast. It's a very casual spot with limited seating, making it a great option for a quick meal. The menu features various takes on Caribbean favorites like jerk meats and pasta. I opted for a "create your own bowl" with jerk chicken and plantains as my hot topping. The portion size was modest, but the pricing was fair, and the flavors were on point--smoky, spicy, and balanced with the sweetness of the plantains. If you're looking for something casual with great flavor and quick service, this is definitely worth a try. I'm looking forward to returning and trying the jerk pasta next time! read more

The plantains were amazing, perfect amount of crispiness on the outside and soft on the inside. 5/5 The jerk chicken looked very seasoned, but highly lacked flavor #disappointed 2/5 The chicken empanadas were expected given the lack of authenticity 2.5/5 If you're not familiar with Jamaican food, I'd say this is an ok start but not my first choice and definitely way pricier than it should be. read more

Okay I decided to give Jerks another try. This time I got the jerk chicken meal/plate. This was a slam dunk for me. The jerk chicken was so tender, moist, and SPICY! Seasoned just right. My sides were cabbage and rice & peas. I got some oxtail gravy and chimichurri sauce on the side and OMG. The cabbage was fresh and the rice and peas were good, especially with the oxtail gravy!!!! If you aren't a true spicy fan, be cautious because the jerk sauce is spicy--and that's me being nice because I don't even think it's THAT spicy. You can definitely taste the scotch bonnet for sure. So beware if you can't take the spice. This jerk chicken plate made up for the first experience I had when I got the 2 jerks bowl. Still a little disappointed they don't use the jerk chicken they use for the jerk chicken plates for the bowls (it just doesn't taste or look the same), but I guess if that's how they do it. My order also didn't take 15-20 mins this time. There were more people behind the counter making the orders. I'm still confused on why the layout is how it is (it looks cafeteria or chipotle style like you order at the counter and move your way down toward the register) but all I really cared about was my food being better than last time. I will be upgrading my 3.5 starts to 4 only due to prices--it was basically $30 with a tip (and no drink), and I feel like they're kind of stingy with the sauces (an additional $1) for a small side cup of sauce. read more

For starters, the food was disappointing. The chicken was totally overcooked and not tender. The rice and peas simply tasted like white rice. I would rate it a 5/10. However. I found a piece of metal in my bowl the next day after warming and starting to eat my food. I actually bit into it. That is completely unacceptable. It could've blown up in my microwave or cut my insides. Wouldn't go here again. read more

I recently visited Jerks, a Caribbean Jamaican restaurant in Brookhaven. The food was good and had a nice kick on the spicier side... a little too much for me! The empanadas were SO good and I'd go back just for those. However, the customer service was a bit mediocre. After tipping the girl in the front, before leaving, I asked for an extra sauce and she was talking about charging me... Despite that, I'll probably be back to try more items from their menu. read more

Oh my goodness, this is absolutely the BEST Caribbean restaurant I've ever been to from Washington, DC to Atlanta, GA! I've been twice and have tried the Oxtails w/ rice and peas and Mac & Cheese. Also, just tried the Jerk Pasta with Chicken and Shrimp. Both dishes will be pictured. I wanted to try something different the 2nd time to make sure it wasn't just a lucky one off. This place is the truth. Inside and outside seating. Easy ordering. Polite and friendly staff. Great portions. A variety of different Caribbean and fusion dishes. I'm so glad I live close by.

Tried this restaurant on a Friday afternoon, and was greeted by a friendly and helpful staff. This place was super cute inside and very clean. You can order at the counter or at a self service kiosk. I decided on the jerk pasta, it was good but extremely spicy to the point that I couldn't finish eating it. In all fairness, the staff member did warn me that it would be spicy. I also wish that the pasta included some vegetables like bell peppers or something. The wait wasn't long at all and I do plan on going back and trying some other items in the future. read more

Wow the food is really good ! The bowls are large, I got the CARRIBEAN muscle , soo much protein, it is spicy so watch out for that. The sweet potatoes are such a nice added touch. It was super packed so I suggest ordering ahead online. There's only one tablet to order from which slows everything down but well worth the wait. My fiancé got the oxtail plate and he really enjoyed it. There's some outside seating which is nice; the inside was a bit smokey so I wouldn't recommend eating inside. read more
